Advanced Speaker Designs for the Hobbyist and TechnicanAdvanced Speaker Designs shows the electronics hobbyist and the experienced technician how to create high-quality speaker systems for the home, office, or auditorium. Every part of the system is covered in detail, from the driver and crossover network to the enclosure itself. You can build speaker systems from the parts lists and instructions provided, or you can actually learn to calculate design parameters, system responses, and component values with scientific calculators or PC software. You can also learn how to measure driver parameters and predict system responses for greater precision. |
